For Any type of Recovery ensure that the Backup Target if BitLocked is unlocked. If the Recovery is a file-level recovery (File Recovery, App Recovery, System State Recovery) the Recovery Target too needs to be unlocked if it is BitLocked. However unlocking a locked BitLocked Recovery Target is not needed if the Recovery is a volume-level recovery (Volume Recovery, System Recovery(Bare Metal Recovery)) Appendix: Encrypted File System (EFS) and BitLocker links: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc138009.aspx http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/guidance/clientsecurity/dataencryption/default.mspx http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/guidance/clientsecurity/dataencryption/analysis/80c0d0af-2c2e-45d6-9b29-f850926296bb.
